Psychic Vampirism - A phenomenon in which the underdeveloped aura system with deficient energy resources habitually invades the aura systems of others and draws energy from them. (Source: Slate, Joe H. PH.D. Aura Energy for Health, Healing, and Balance).
Psychic Vampire - One of the most potentially dangerous of all vampire species, as these creatures feed upon the psychic energies of their victims, leaving them exhausted. Continued feedings can lead to permanent debilitation, even to death. In the past, young humans and animals were believed capable of stealing life and were kept apart from adults, especially in sleep periods. Various occult experts, such as A. Osborne Eaves and Franz Hartmann, wrote about the phenomenon, along with ways of resisting such assaults. Hartmann described the typical psychic vampire as having a hand that feels clammy and cadaverous. Eaves recommended protecting oneself by imaging a protective barrier of white mist beyond the person's own aura and by applying incense or garlic in a room. Keeping the hands closed in public was also thought to be beneficial.
The dangers of this form of vampirism were detailed in several works, including Eaves's Modern Vampirism: Its Dangers and How to Avoid Them (1904) and Dion Fortune's Psychic Self-Defense (1930). Naturally, fiction writers found the idea enticing. The earliest tale concerning such vampires was Webber's Spiritual Vampirism (1853), featuring a psychic vampire, Etherial Softdown. Other entries were A Borrowed Mouth (1886) by Frank Stockton, Clara Militch (1882) by Ivan Turgenev, and The Princess Daphne (1888) by Edward Heron-Allen. There followed classics on the subject: "The Parasite" (1891) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "Luella Miller" (1903) by Mary Wilkins-Freeman, "The Transfer" (1912) by Algernon Blackwood, "The Girl with the Hungry Eyes" (1949) by Fritz Leiber, "The Mindworm" (1950) by C. M. Kornbluth, and "Iry a Dull Knife" (1968) by Harlan Ellison. Psychic attacks are deemed so common that they have crossed the bounds of pure vampire literature into mainstream horror, as with Poe's works. A littleknown film, One Dark Night (1982), dealt with psychic predations, as did Lifeforce (1985). (Source: Bunson, Matthew. The Vampire Encyclopedia. Psychic Vampires).

at the time I was reading a biography of Anton LaVey and I mentioned that satanists, in principle, despise and avoid psychic vampires... instant BOOT. I went back and asked what the problem was, I wasn't trying to start an arguement and I'm a fairly open-minded individual when it comes to folks who believe in things like "pscychic vampirism" and other psychic phenomena. I was met with a chorus of insults and adolescent nonsense.
who would've thought that a group of young people who profess to having the ability to drain the lifeforce from unsuspecting innocents would be so weak-kneed about mis-percieved criticism and/or skepticism.
one would expect a vampire to be a bit tougher and alot less defensive.
